Question

Bond energies can be obtained by using the following relation:
ΔH(reaction) = Bond energy of bonds, broken in the reactants Bond energy of bonds, formed in the products

Bond energy depends on three factors:
a. greater is the bond length, lesser is the bond energy
b. bond energy increases with the bond multiplicity
c. bond energy increases with the electronegativity difference between the bonding atoms.

Arrange NH, OH and FH bonds in the decreasing order of bond energy:

A
FH>OH>NH

Solution

The correct option is A FH>OH>NH
Fluorine is more electron-negative than oxygen and oxygen is more electro-negative than nitrogen.
Hence, bond energy between FH is greater than OH which is greater than NH.
